Thanks Lawajava,
 
That was the video I was watching this morning that made me write the original post/inquiry.

MAN you aren't kidding.  I could only take about 2 minutes of that turtle talk.

I have the same issue...if you can't hold my attention during the first few minutes
I'm done...that simple...

Many of the Groove 3 videos do that to me....they just don't keep me 
interested...

Surprisingly the AskVideo (MacPro) videos did, for the most part, keep me 
interested.  While some parts were boring, I found myself "wanting" to finish.

So hats off to them...I'm a hard nut to crack...emphasis on the "nut".

The video you previously linked to gave enough information to add a couple octaves to that kalimba. Just drag the top and bottom notes out in the mapping editor and save. 
 
It only starts getting complicated when you next want to add round-robins and multiple velocity layers and keyswitches and legato modes and multiple articulations. Unfortunately, it's a kind of a natural progression to want to do that stuff as soon as you've made your first instrument. Before you know it, you're having conversations with EvilDragon about the maximum number of buttons on a panel.
 
If that happens, I recommend a quick trip to the Coffee House or a few back-to-back episodes of Wheel of Fortune to calm your nerd-brain.

Groove3 tutorial. Do the first one on Kontakt the follow up video on Kontakt 5 sucks. Ta.

Mike - not the same guy or the same video you referred to.

You might say the one I mentioned is slow, it might be, but it's very helpful. He goes through a lot of the stuff that could be overlooked that really enable it to work right. Definitely not related to the link you mentioned in your original post.

Let me emphasize that my thanks for your suggestion is sincere.
 
I saw that 44 min video you linked to first, but the link I placed in my OP was an example of a video I thought was paced a little faster. I don't want to belabor the point or seem unappreciative but the 44 min guy lost me when he started explaining how to record samples. I didn't post a link to a video I wasn't going to sit through, I posted a link to one that I might. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate your having taken the time to offer a suggestion. I appreciate you doing so, and someone else may see your link and find that it suits their interest perfectly. 
 
 
I want to jump in someplace where it is assumed I already know how to assemble a collection of samples.
 
The videos Larry linked to seemed even more straightforward than the example I posted a link too.

Thanks Bit,
 The videos helped. I didn't realize how easy it is to get started. My previous sample experiments were with .sfz and text edit mapping etc.
 
 No round robin for me. :-) I think randomization is the bane of MIDI. I am definitely interested in velocity layers. My Session Drummer 2 drum kit had approximately 20 layers per key.
